I need to invest in a defrag utlilty for my system. I use XP on 2 machines. One of them has nearly 1.5t. of hard drive space for video editing. I'm wondering what a good defrag utility would be for large files (In excess of 2gb) that could clean up some of my stuff.

Sorry Toe for adding something partially unrelated to your thread but you had me curious and so I decided to check the google ad links here on this page since because you asked about defrag tools it displayed links toward them:

However, when I clicked the middle one, PCTools one, I got a warning on my comp saying it is a mismatch domain and it could possibly be someone trying to intercept. Anyone else getting this?

Diskeeper for me.

If you'd like a no-frills command-prompt batch-file type one that works....look up 'DIRMS' ....

Diskeeper here also. I've tried out others but had problems with scheduling automated defragmentation and with DK it just works..

I use mst Defrag http://www.mstsoftware.com/

Plus with Diskeeper you can defrag all of your drives at the same time..

Yep, I use Diskeeper. Works well for me.
